FPGA Engineer

Hybrid | Engineering & Software Development | Full-time | Oxford

Salary: Up to £70,000

We are seeking a talented FPGA Engineer to join a pioneering quantum technology company in Oxford. You’ll help bring cutting-edge atom-based quantum devices from the lab to real-world applications.

What You’ll Do:

*

Design, implement, and test FPGA systems and real-time DSP algorithms

*

Develop high-speed interfaces to hardware peripherals (ADC, DAC, DDS, PLL).

*

Debug complex embedded systems combining hardware, firmware, and software.

*

Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver next-generation quantum technologies.

What We’re Looking For:

*

Strong experience in FPGA programming (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog) and DSP implementation.

*

Knowledge of digital and RF hardware, with hands-on experience in embedded systems.

*

Experience with standard hardware interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART) and hardware product development.

*

Desirable: Xilinx Zynq/RFSoC, RF test equipment, PCB design, C/C++ or Python for embedded systems.

Benefits:

*

Competitive salary up to £70,000

*

Hybrid working (up to 2 days from home)

Where to Advertise Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising quantum computing jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The global talent pool is tiny — measured in thousands, not tens of thousands — and concentrated around a small number of university physics departments, national laboratories and well-funded hardware startups. Many of the strongest candidates hold PhDs in quantum physics, quantum information or adjacent disciplines and are embedded in academic or research communities that rarely intersect with mainstream job boards. General platforms are largely ineffective for quantum hiring. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community outreach are not optional extras — they are the primary sourcing strategy. This guide, published by QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise quantum computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Quantum computing is no longer a discipline that exists purely in academic papers and government roadmaps. It is entering a phase of genuine commercial momentum — one that is beginning to reshape the jobs market in ways that are both significant and, for well-positioned job seekers, enormously promising. The UK sits at the centre of this shift. With the government's £2 billion National Quantum Strategy committed through to 2034, a network of world-class university research groups, a growing cluster of quantum hardware and software companies, and deepening investment from major technology and defence organisations, Britain has established itself as one of a handful of countries genuinely competing at the frontier of quantum computing development and commercialisation. But the quantum computing jobs market of 2026 is a nuanced one. It is not yet the broad, deep hiring market that artificial intelligence or cloud computing represents. It is a specialist, technically demanding, and rapidly evolving landscape where the roles being created today look quite different from those that existed three years ago — and where the roles that will dominate hiring in 2028 are already beginning to take shape. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which technical areas are moving from research into commercial application, which adjacent skills are becoming as important as quantum physics itself, and how to position a quantum computing career that will remain valuable as the technology scales. This article breaks down what the UK quantum computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most consequential technology transitions of the coming decade.

New Quantum Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Advancing Quantum Careers

Quantum computing is no longer confined to research labs. As companies convert quantum theory into testable products, algorithms, and computing platforms, demand for professionals with quantum knowledge — whether physics, algorithms, software development, or hardware engineering — is rising. In 2026, quantum computing organisations are securing significant funding, industry partnerships, and contracts across sectors such as energy, finance, telecommunications, defence, and healthcare. For candidates exploring opportunities on www.QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are hiring now and scaling quantum teams is crucial. This article profiles the new and high‑growth quantum computing employers to watch in 2026, with a specific focus on UK‑based innovators, international firms with UK operations, and leading global quantum organisations.
